A Quiet Moment

In some ways I have become more aware of the passage of time since I started this project. The feeling is even stronger as I approach my one year anniversary here. Yes, there were paper journals before this one, but it isn't the same to me. What I mean is that my September entries from this year might be held in the same directory as my September entries from last year. I couldn't imagine tearing up my paper journals into matching months and then pasting them together. Compare and contrast is much easier here.

I'm not sure if I have learned that much new about myself in the past year or not. Maybe if I went back and read this project from start to finish something would come to me. Generally I write the entries and then forget about them. Besides I wrote them, so I already know what they say. All that I know is that in some small way this is a refection of who I am.

I always seem to be searching for the quiet moments in life. Sometimes just sitting in the shade and watching the wind blow through the trees is enough of a summer for me. Soon it'll be August and then my favorite season autumn will be here. One morning I'll wake up and be able to smell the cold in the air.

The thought that keeps going through my mind lately is how little I know about life and the world around me. There is so much to see and do and learn. There is so much more that I want to experience and here I sit capturing moments of time.
